Commission · 焦太瓷定製

A piece made only for you.

Bespoke commissions are accepted throughout the year. Pattern, form, palette and scale are chosen in conversation with Li Wenxian and the workshop. Each piece is signed by the maker before it leaves the studio.

How a Commission Works

From enquiry to delivery.

The commissioning process is hands-on. Each step is a conversation — about pattern, form, scale, palette, firing, and the moment you receive the finished piece.
